Eating while traveling, or out of your routine, can be a challenge. But with some planning, you can do it right.

One of my fitness club member recently emailed this to me:

“I’m really good at going to the farmer’s market and stocking up on fresh fruits/veggies/cooking for the week EXCEPT when I’m out of town for the weekend. I could use some help with quick, healthy, on-the-fly lunches – like you don’t have time to go to the grocery store, but have access to Grand Central Market, quick.”

Here are some of my ideas:

Think of breakfast & lunch as purely functional, not pleasurable. You’re eating for fuel; then save the calories for dinner & drinks.

Salads; Yea, you might be sick of them from the week, but you can get them almost anywhere and if you go light on the dressing they can be only 200 – 300 calories.

Try grilled veggies on whole grain wraps.

Have fruit & raw veggies and snack on the go. The fiber will fill you up till dinner

Try a cold soup like gazpacho. The water in the soup will fill your belly.

Do you have some healthy options for her? What are your favorite healthy lunches?
